The tickets that Marie and her friend took in a row were ticket numbers X and X+1. So, we have X and X+1.
Their numbers added up to 555, so we can write it as:
X + (X+1) = 555
2X + 1 = 555
2X = 554
X = 277
So, the ticket numbers that Marie and her friend took were 277 and 278.
The next ticket number after them would be 278 + 1 = 279.
Therefore, the next ticket number after Marie and her friend took their tickets would be 279.
